75 <br /> <br />8.10 Professional Appearance <br />Personal appearance should be appropriate to the nature of the work and contacts with other <br />people and should present a positive image to the public. Clothing, jewelry, or other items that <br />could present a safety hazard are not acceptable in the workplace. Dress needs vary by <br />function. Employees who spend a portion of the day in the field need to dress in a professional <br />manner appropriate to their jobs. <br /> <br />Dress for Your Day <br />The City of Lino Lakes Dress for Your Day policy allows for non-uniformed employees to use <br />their best judgment when deciding what to wear to work every day, with some basic guidelines. <br />The idea is that each employee should consider what their workday looks like and dress <br />accordingly. <br /> <br />For example, employees are allowed to wear casual clothing on workdays when they do not <br />have council meetings, work sessions, conferences, or meetings with residents or other outside <br />third parties. Employees are still expected to wear clothing appropriate for an office <br />environment, and traditional business attire is always acceptable. <br /> <br />There may be days when special visitors are expected at city facilities and all staff may be <br />required to forgo Dress for Your Day and required to wear business casual attire. These days <br />will be announced in advance so employees can plan accordingly. <br /> <br />In all instances clothing must be neat, clean, not ripped, heavily frayed or worn, and not expose <br />an excessive amount of skin. <br /> <br />The following are examples of clothing and shoe choices that are never acceptable, but it is not <br />an exhaustive list. When in doubt, consult with Human Resources. <br />• Clothing and/or accessories that include offensive/inappropriate images or words, including <br />images/words that are discriminatory or sexual <br />• Sweatpants, sweatshirts, yoga pants and other exercise apparel <br />• Leggings unless combined with a skirt, dress or top that reaches at least mid-thigh <br />• Beach wear and shorts <br />• Overalls <br />• Very short skirts or dresses <br />• Clothing and accessories with writing or large logos (unless city or affiliated business <br />organization logo) <br />• Spaghetti-strap tops or dresses unless covered by a jacket or sweater (at all times) <br />• Tank tops, halter tops, crop tops or any clothing showing midriffs <br />• Sheer or revealing clothing <br />117
